‘HugGate’: Thin-Skinned Hannity Calls Me ‘Dumb Lib’ on Twitter, Then Blocks Me

Share article:

Sean Hannity makes a living dishing it out — perhaps I should say shoveling it — but he seems to have trouble taking it in return.

If you missed his “EXCLUSIVE!” Fox “News” interview last night with two young Breitbart rubes, featuring the shocking, unedited version of the video of Barack Obama in his 1991 Harvard days that the late Andrew Breitbart had long promised would help destroy the President, well, you didn’t miss much. Not much more than a “smoking hug” and the latest embarrassing moment from the Rightwing’s current collective nervous breakdown, anyway.

I happened to catch it though. And I enjoyed it so much, I tweeted mercifully about it while watching. For example, as it ended, I observed…

An hour or so later, one of Sean’s nutty followers tweeted in clever reply…

Oh, snap! That, in turn, led our friend Sean to help her out with this tweet, in which he was very very mean to me…

“Dumb lib”?! A personal attack from the always courteous Sean Hannity who makes his shameful living, in no small part, by condemning his political opponents for making personal attacks?! I am shocked! No less shocked when I saw that damning video yesterday revealing the truth about the terrifying radical background of our dangerously Marxist President!

Having been thoroughly taken to task by Sean, I had nothing left but to tweet in response:

After which, Sean appears to have blocked me on Twitter. Can you believe it?! Now I will no longer be able to enjoy his informative and insightful thoughts via my personal Twitter feed! I must have hurt his feelings.

Why does all of this matter? In truth, it doesn’t. Not in the least. But it just seems like — after someone’s very long day yesterday — someone may need a nice hug…

Still love ya, Sean!

    Pennsylvania is the lastest state to pass legislation intended to disenfranchise voters.

    Despite thousands of phone calls and emails in defense of voting rights, late yesterday, March 7, the Pennsylvania Senate voted 26-23 in favor of a bill to mandate voter ID, which will disenfranchise tens of thousands – maybe hundreds of thousands – of Pennsylvanians.

    (3/7/12) HARRISBURG – By the slimmest of margins, the Pennsylvania Senate today passed legislation to mandate all voters in all elections to show a form of identification, as designated in the bill. The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania responded to the vote by calling it “a defeat for democracy.”

    The bill.

    It could be that Sean is all touchy following “the assassination” of dear leader Breitbart.

    Sean just has to go all rogue and mavericky when someone tries to poke facts in his eye.

    Ann, Rand, and the T party will note the incursion into their insHannity slumber, and will continue to continue.

    Yes, Obama should have been vetted more carefully.

    If only we’d known that Obama was a 100% owned and operated tool of the <1% before his FISAA backstab… if only…

    Now the Republicans can only retreat further and further into their insanity… serving now only as a terror tool to keep not-insane voters in line as Obama pulls off victory after soul-crushing victory for the <1%.

    Faced with a string of imperial faits accomplis that no member of the GOP would ever have been allowed to achieve, all that they can do now is take it out on the nearest brown, lgbt or uterine-equipped person… preferably a brown, lgbt person with a uterus…

    I’ve heard from a bro-in-law who listens to a LOT of radio that there’s quite a buzz that Breitbart was assassinated to prevent this video from getting out there. Those people really have too much time on their hands and need some serious psychological counseling…..

    @laughingcat: I am no RW eedjit, but I actually think Breitbart may have actually been poisoned. There have been enough weird deaths over the past 20 years, and his increasingly weird public behavior, coupled with his increasingly (possibly) dangerous knowledge of where the skeletons are hiding, give me the thought that he was a strategically surgically removed asset. He had gained A LOT of weight & was clearly drinking a LOT more. I’d guess someone decided he was gonna be too much trouble and had lost his usefulness.

    Now why would I even say this? Because I have been paying some attention to strange deaths since the Clinton years. There are plenty of those listed anywhere you want to look on the Internet. It’s not that I believe everything ever published, it’s just that, after a while, a pattern, an M.O., starts to emerge.

    I think the bizarre behavior of the varied likes of Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen (BOTH of whom had begun to PUBLICLY take rather astonishing positions about issues like The Vatican & 9/11, and then suddenly went, uh NUTS! And were just shut up & shut down as intelligent human beings with something to say…) indicates to me that there may be SUMTHIN’ in the ‘water’ in showbizland. I dunno. Guess I’ve been reading these stories for too long.

    All I DO know (I think) is that if you read up on MK Ultra, mind control, the CIA, the FBI, and the NSA, it becomes infinitely clear that there is a WHOLE OTHER ruling body who has been in charge for maybe 100 years, maybe longer, and that ruling body does not give ONE CRAP about anyone’s wellbeing, including our beloved planet. They have a job to do, and it don’t matter who gettin’ hurt.

    And Breitbart & Limbaugh are now looking more like targets, because it’s red meat to the crowds sitting in the Colliseum.

    LOOK! OVER THERE! Let’s PUNISH that bad man! He’s been VERY bad, hasn’t he?

    And while we’re paying attention to the shiny objects, THE DAMNED A.G. & Director of Defense, our friend Leon Panetta, are saying things that essentially deny that there are ANY LAWS THAT PROTECT ANY OF US (INCLUDING THEM, BUT WHAT DOES THAT MATTER??).

    So, why NOT kill of Breitbart?

    Ooohhhh! Shiny object!

    🙂 have a lovely day all.

    Sophia, I know where you are coming from, but Breitbart was not a threat to anyone. He was not a very credible guy in any way, and was being sued by Shirley Sherrod for his edited tape. Alex Jones and other hosts have been convinced he was killed, but for what reason?

    Caroline said @ 8:

    Alex Jones and other hosts have been convinced he was killed, but for what reason?

    And with what evidence to back up even a hint of foul play? I’ve been the guest on a number of those shows, of late, have asked for what evidence they have to support such a claim, and apparently there is none.

    Well, here’s what I got back: a) “The timing!” — apparently the upcoming promised videos is the explanation for concerns about “the timing” to these folks. Of course, for someone to murder Breitbart to keep the videos from coming out, would have to presume that Breitbart himself took these college videos 20 years ago, and was the only one with a copy of them. Or something. Obviously, that’s not the case. And b) Someone claims that Breitbart told them “Just wait until March 1st!” Now, there was no explanation of what was supposed to happen on March 1st, and the claim about March 1st was never made publicly until after Breitbart died. So take that with a grain of salt as well.

    Other than that? Apparently no evidence whatsoever. But that seems to be enough for some to yell, “BREITBART WAS MURDERED!!!”

    Sigh…

    I am not saying he was murdered, to be clear. It’s just that when I saw him drunkenly shouting at the Occupy protesters, I saw the signs of someone who MIGHT be having more problems than those that are obvious (weight & alcohol & heart). That was madness and sometimes madness is externally triggered. Again, I don’t know what other reasons there might have been for him to be ‘eliminated’. That’s not what I saw. I saw an out-of-control aspect so similar to Mel Gibson and to a lesser extent, Charlie Sheen… This death will be added to the long list of ‘strange/weird/questionable’ ones that have been & will be debated endlessly. Who knows if we’ll ever find out what ‘really’ happened to Jim Morrison. Right?

    Yeah – No evidence and a lame video (likely NOT THEE video…) – Why? Dunno , I DO know however that all governments are murderers and liars! (to quote that evil republican Bill Hicks) luckily democrats would neeeeever do such a thing, Whew.
